Geeks! Help me out here! does anyone know the number of W.A.A.S. antenna', and their approximate location or coverage?

I'm hearing people say they are getting W.A.A.S. coverage, but I was under the assumption there are just a VERY few (2 or 3) antenna in the state, and that the reach was only 12-20 miles from the antenna. I don't use it.

So, what do you know about W.A.A.S. in Minnesota?_________________"You cannot reason a person out of a position they did not reason themselves into"

Those were amazing links......They literally made smoke come out of my ears. I'll try reading them again later, but I don't know.........

So, do any of you folks make WAAS connections here in Mn.?

This paragraph from the tutorial explains WAAS well:

"The way this works is that a set of ground stations all over the US (as shown below) collect correction data relative to the area of the country they are located in. The entire data is then packaged together, analyzed, converted to a set of correction data by a master station and then uploaded to the geo-stationary satellite, which in turn transmits the data down to the local gps receiver. The gps receiver then figures out which data is applicable to its current location and then applies the appropriate corrections to the receiver."

You don't need to be within access of one of the antennaes. The antennaes simply collect GPS info for their service area, and transmit the corrected signal back to a WAAS satellite.

As long as there is a WASS satellite in the sky, you'll get corrections.
